33 * New upstream version
34 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
35 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
36 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
37 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
38 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
41 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
42 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
43 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
44 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
45 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
47 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
48 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
50 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
52 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
54 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
55 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
57 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.

66 * New upstream version
68 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
70 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
71 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
73 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
74 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
75 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
76 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
77 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
79 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
80 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
81 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
82 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
83 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
84 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
85 - Fragment handling extensions:
86 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
87 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
89 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
90 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
91 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
92 fragment handling policy.
93 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
94 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
95 standards-based implementations.
96 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
97 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
98 a denial of service attack.
99 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
100 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
101 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
102 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

112 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
113 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
115 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
117 - Implement table unique constraints.
118 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
120 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
121 counters for each port.
123 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
125 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
126 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
127 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
128 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
129 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
130 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
131 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
132 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
133 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
134 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
135 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
137 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
138 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
139 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
141 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
142 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
144 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
145 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
146 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
147 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
